it also depends on what's considered greek, many of these justices are members of a law fraternity such as Phi Alpha Delta or Phi Delta Theta, which are professional organizations
|
From the Beta Theta Pi HQ website:
"There was a Beta on the Supreme Court from 1877 to 1975, including the late Justice William O. Douglas, Whitman ’20. In 1911 there were four members who were Betas. Between 1881-1889 three members of the court were Betas." |
Chief Justice Tom Clark was a Delt and was Chief Justice at the same time as being National President of Delta Tau Delta.

I don't know about Sandra Day O'Conner's post-collegiate greek involvement, but she was an undergrad at Stanford in the 1950's, a time during which NPC sororities, at least - and from the text of the Board of Trustees meeting abolishing the sororities, I would be inclined to say all sororities - were banned.

From what I understand, MSM & Georgetown still don't have them. However, LUNO did establish Beta Epsilon Gamma Gamma Alpha Rho Sigma (BEGGARS) in 1923. It was the first fraternal organization authorized by the Holy See to exist on a Jesuit campus. |

In case you didn't know her affiliation Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an AEPhi alum from our Kappa chapter at Cornell. Also proud to say she is from Brooklyn, New York and went to same high school as a quarter of my chapter.

So I'll start a post trying to keep track:
AEPhi: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Beta: William O. Douglas Deke: John Hessin Clarke DTD: Tom Clark William Brennan DU: Charles Evans Hughes LXA: Harry Blackmun Phi Delta Theta: Sherman Minton Phi Kappa Psi: Pierce Butler Pi Beta Phi: Sandra Day O'Connor Psi Upsilon: William Taft I'll edit as people post |
I'm pretty sure that Beta has had the most. I think that I once read that they had 4 brothers on the Supreme Court at the same time.
